Has It Been That Long Since I Wrote?

As you can see, I am not in the habit of writing every day.

Our little one had a visit with her mom and oldest brother today. The younger two are doing summer school and couldn't make it. The visit went well. The case worker shared with me that the mom really loves me and how I am with the baby. I thought that was neat and that means a lot to me. I hope she sees Jesus in me. We also talked about the boys...we are still trying to get a waiver to bring them in too. At first we were told that it didn't look like we could, but our family developer with our agency said yesterday that they are still pushing forward with it. We'll see.

Our oldest is away at camp this week. She has only been gone about 30hours, but we are missing her greatly. Even the boys have said they wished she was home. I can't imagine my kids being gone from me like our foster daughter is from her mom, and not seeing her for a couple of weeks, then missing my visit. Kids are so awesome...

There is a book that just came out that is written by the President & CEO of Compassion International...it is called Too small to ignore. I have only read a snippet of the book that came in our newsletter, but we will be ordering it soon. As I sat in the lobby of CPS today listening to two men talk about getting their kids back, I wished that I had copies of the book to give them. I prayed that God would give me words to say to them, but nothing came to me, so I just prayed for them. I actually wanted to go over and grab them by the shoulders and shake them and challenge them to be real men and be good husbands and fathers, but I didn't really think that was from God. I will get the book and let you know what I think about it.
